The L77 is also a great alternative. It is a complete motor, so no hours swapping parts and gaskets. Only thing you have to swap is your silver blade throttle body. New water pump new alternator new power steering pump. Better fuel injectors. It also has the new style lifters so no death tick later on. Make you totally reliable in one shot. At $5727.00 it’s drop it in. Fill with oil and coolant and drive away.
Summit racing and many others have it.
Engine - GM (19256262)

Your photo, maybe too good to be true ?

If it really had all the accessorys, front drive ,etc that would be unbeatable.
All the front stuff I bought for my LS7 was a couple grand by itself

 

[GT Drew]

Look at your photo! Those are cathedral heads and a iron block. If you look at GM sites, 19256262 is listed as a Engine Complete Assembly. Not just a long block. A call to the seller would confirm it. This one appears to be assemble line replacement/ warranty engine.

if this is what you get for that money that is not bad at all.

 

[AndrewR]

5700 for a long block does seem high to be fair.

I'm having trouble finding specs on that motor. I see some sites say its AFM. Can't find it in the Chevy catalog. Is it new?

Just typed and lost a novel.

Drew, not saying you are wrong.
Was showing there is conflicting info out there.
Yes a call would clarify
If that is an accurate photo, that is an incredible price.
Maybe a blow out ?

Summit shows it dressed:

[95wagon]

My point , you cant nessasarily trust the pictures

If true, dressed L99 for less

Personally I think they are "file photos"
Happy to be wrong though ,,, and admit it,,, as it means there are some fantastic deals to be had.

 

[PONY MAN]

Over three months ago, this was asked on Summit Racking and hasn't received a response, "Does this motor come "fully dressed" with all accessories that are pictured"? As mentioned, best to call and inquire.

 

[Jeff92se]

Good deals. But both still have AFM lifters. I’d still think I’d go with the LS3 long block.

Good Morning,
See attached for what is included with the engine.
Thanks!

Edit:
Anyone see that fully dressed engine photo on an actual GM sight along with that part number?
Anyone else have a reply in writing from a seller of that part number stating the engine fully dressed with accessories?

 

[PONY MAN]

Contacted Summit Racing via chat. Below is the unedited transcript.

Me:
Hello,
Does the 19256262 engine setup come fully dressed? As pictured with the alternator, power steering, pump, air conditioner compressor, and other accessories already installed?
Summit: After looking on the vendors site it looks like this item has been discontinued and will not be available anymore. I will have to have our site updated
Me: Part number NAL-19256262
Me: Okay. How about NAL-12631106 ?
Summit: They are showing this also Discontinued
Me: Very interesting. Will both listings before removed from the website? Thanks
Summit: I am having both removed from our site
Me: Sound great. Have a great day.

[sleeperbird]

figured that was to good to be true.

 

[GTO Dude]

Don't know your budget, the
19420382
Brand new LS3 long block is the deal of the century at 4,999
I am linking this thread to a freind who will have an L77 available in the future.
Depending where you are maybe he could make a deal.
Not a scam, I have been here a while and the guy with the engine possibly for sale is well known.

Doesn't look like any of these are available right now due to a crankshaft shortage.............

 

[GT Drew]

The L77 complete looks better as a quick drop in for a bad motor. No tune needed. Better lifters, better injectors. You now have an extra intake and heads for porting or sale.

 

[95wagon]

To each their own GTdrew.
You have conceded it is not a dressed engine, right?
Don't see where you have extra heads with the L77 over the LS3 long.

L77 is 1300 bucks more after core
Thats 25 % more

Being the L77 has different , larger injectors, why would you not need to tune it.

Better lifters , again opinion.
I get you are saying they are better than the 2009 DOD lifter, but I would argue they are not better than the LS3 NON DOD.

In the L77 Still saddled with the big , unused groove in the cam eating 2nd bearing for vcam timing aren't you?

We all have our own idea,
Mine would be the 6.2 LS3 and 1300 bucks to add what I might need that I might need that the L77 came with I didnt get.
Already has the lighter intakes , more compression,
If guy wanted a stock calibration pretty easy to copy pertinent tables from a GXP auto.
Cheap to free with Tunercat, pretty cheap with HP Tuners .

 

[GT Drew]

All true but the OP has not driven the car in a long time. It’s at a dealer not a tune shop. It was stock going in. Most here would go with the LS3. Still the OP’s choice if he wants stock or modded. Majority of us here are modded, the OP isn’t

 

[PONY MAN]

The dealership being unable to locate a used motor is rather interesting and it seems they have either put the car on the back burner and/or are disinterested in performing the repairs. Either way, wouldn't let it sit there too much longer before taking it elsewhere.
